It was a dreadfully hot day in Texas. Temperatures reaching up to almost 100 degrees. Michael and I were meeting friends out at Gloria's, one of our local Tex-Mex hangs in Dallas that serves decent food but better margaritas. We decided to eat at home that night and then go out to socialize. But that night it was just so hot, and despite the fact we ate at home to save money I desperately wanted a … [Read more...] about How to Spend Money to Save Money

The Essential Paris Travel Guide
I'll never forget my first time in Paris. It was mid-July and I was 25. I wasn't as worried about skin cancer but I was concerned about lightening my hair and darkening my skin in the sun. I can't tell you if Paris was hot or cold. I can't tell you if it rained. All I know is that I loved it.

Feel Like a Queen in Manchester – City Guide
Most girls dream about being a princess. If you're a millineal woman, you might have thought that Prince William or Harry was in your reach.

10 Day Italy Itinerary: Rome, Florence, Venice
I had a dream the other night that I was floating down a marinara river in a pasta boat, in search of gelato. It's safe to say I ate my way (deliciously) through Italy.

I am SO glad we planned out the trip the way we … [Read more...] about 10 Day Italy Itinerary: Rome, Florence, Venice
